The Suda is a 10th century Byzantine encyclopedia compiled from medieval sources and older material. I added a comment on the Suda to the thread of new Epicurean timeline that Joshua created (KUDOS to him!!!), but I've moved the non-timeline portion of that comment to here. The entries below on Epicurus are doozies!!
The second entry for Epicurus:

WOW! Give THAT one a read!!! WOW!!
This one's kind of a doozy, too:

PS. One last Suda entry on the greetings of letters which I find interesting because the letters in Diogenes use χαιρειν:
https://www.cs.uky.edu/~raphael/sol/sol-entries/chi/166
Headword: Χαίρειν
Adler number: chi,166
Translated headword: greetings
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Kleon headed [his letters] thus, but Plato [preferred] 'do/fare well', and Epicurus 'live well'.
Greek Original: Χαίρειν: οὕτως ἐπέγραφε Κλέων, ὁ δὲ Πλάτων εὐ̂ πράττειν, ὁ δὲ ̓Επίκουρος εὐ̂ διάγειν.
Note: From Diogenes Laertius 3.61. For discussion (and more cross-references) see epsilon 3664; cf. also chi 162, chi 164.
Keywords: biography; daily life; dialects, grammar, and etymology; philosophy; politics; rhetoric

Headword: Εὐ̂ πράττειν
Adler number: epsilon,3664
Translated headword: do well, fare well
Translation: The heading of the Letters of Plato [is] thus. He wrote 13 Letters. They are of the moral kind. 'Live well': Epicurus headed [his Letters] thus; but Cleon headed [his with] 'greetings'.
Greek Original: Εὐ̂ πράττειν: οὕτως ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τω̂ν ἐπιστολω̂ν Πλάτωνος. ἔγραψε δὲ ἐπιστολὰς ιγ#. εἰσὶ δὲ του̂ ἠθικου̂ εἴδους. εὐ̂ διάγειν: οὕτως ̓Επίκουρος ἐπέγραφε: χαίρειν δὲ ἐπέγραφε Κλέων.
